Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare Interview at NYCC 2015

When I looked at the list for NYCC this year and saw that Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare would be there, I immediately knew that I would have to speak to them. Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare created the successful Kickstarter project turned Image series ROCKET GIRL. They lead the rebooted Marvel series MOON GIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR, and they co-host the podcast, Podcorn. Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare are the dynamic duo of comics and play off each other with an infectious ease.

Like many of my favorite creators, Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare enjoy the fantastical. They ultimately enjoy fun, so it is no surprise that they were some of the funniest creators at NYCC. In addition, because they work together so much, they had som really interesting and well-tested ideas about what it is like to collaborate.

Amy Reeder and Brandon Montclare: What Interested Me Most

However, what interested me the most was that when taking a second look into Montclare and Reeder before I talked to them, I realized that since I had last spoken to them they have been getting featured in some amazing places. In fact they had been doing interviews with Entertainment Weekly and getting features in NPR; however, they are still the extremely down to earth and kind people I met at NYC: Special Edition. Their success has not gone to their heads. It is clear that at the end of the day they both care deeply about creating good comics with wacky characters and situations that they can relate to. So I have to warn you if you do not enjoy fun, you will most definitely not enjoy this interview. Proceed with caution.
